Victorian Chess board (for red and white pieces)

I am a big fan of the book Through the Looking Glass.  I have even been to the rooms at Oxford where the author wrote the novel!   I am looking to get an attractive chess board to go with my red and white pieces, just like in the story about Alice. 

QUESTION:  What colors would the squares likely be and what material would the board be made from in Victorian England, in the late 1860s, to go with red and white pieces? 

I would very much appreciate some expert opinions. 

Hi Phantom,

Have you seen the old Victorian leather boards, folding, burgundy/wine coloured squares with light squares of an off white cream colour. Almost as delicious as Cindy Crawford 😋😋.

Here's a pic - 19th Century, not sure if it's 1860s though. This example looks like cardboard to me.  How big is your set?
